You call and say you're lonesome you want me back again
But as you talk I hear a jukebox play
So hang the phone up darling go back and join your friend
Have you forgotten why I went away
Don't call me from a honky tonk expecting sympathy
For you still love the night life more than you love me
If you want me you'll have to leave that way of life behind
Don't call me from a honky tonk and think you changed my mind
[ steel ]
I sat and waited for your call but darling I still care
I blame your restless heart for what you've done
If you had called me on the phone from any place but there
I might have come on back on the run
